Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Laura asks…

Does weight lost from a fruit and veggie fast stay off?

I’m planning on doing a 5 day fruit and veggie fast, eating only fruits, veggies, organic sunflower and pumpkin seeds, organic raw almonds, organic apricots, water, baking soda and green tea. Trying to lose weight AND detoxify myself. Gonna exercise 1.5 hours average on the 5 days everyday. Will the weight lost stay lost or will it come back after I start eating normally?? thanks.

Well, one time wont hurt, not for weight loss purposes, but for your organizm cleanse. I’d say go for it, but dont do it again.

Sorry, but weight loss doesnt work that way… You lose muscle and tons of water NOT fat while eating that less. So it is big query will you be happy with the results… It will keep off like for 1- 2 lbs, but you will gain the rest, likely. You can try after those 5 days dont start to eat whatever you ate, but get in regime slowly. I mean dont eat crap for 5 days more (but eat lean meats, whole grain bread and do NOT undereat, just eat less that you would eat). So you body wont be shocked and keep off your pounds easier.

How to lose weight fast in a week?

I really want to lose a lot of weight because i have this reunion with some of my friends that i haven’t seen in a while. I would like to lose weight all over my body, expecially my face. Does anyone know what I could do?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Step 1:This one is easy, to lose weight now, you must drink a minimum of 96 ounces of water every day. This will help you eat less and cleanse your body. Step 2:Replace your snacks with fruits and vegetables to lose weight now.Step 3:Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, make it a date with your friend. Take a brisk walk or jog around the neighborhood. Play a game of basketball or tennis. Try to work towards 60 minutes daily. But, at least get exercise for 4 days of the week if you want to lose weight now – minimum.Step 4:Make a poster for motivation – add your ending weight goal and keep track of your weight loss progress each week.

Donald asks…

How long should I do this colon cleanse?

I am going to start taking Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks Colon Cleanser Powder. How long should I take it before stopping. I read that your should do a colon cleanse for about three days. Is that long enough? How do I know if I’ve cleansed my system enough to stop?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You read wrong. If you need to clean your colon it is because you have a medical problem and should be consulting with your physician and not YA. If you don’t have a medical problem, you shouldn’t be cleaning your colon because cleanses are bogus fads which do nothing worthwhile.

The problem with the internet is it is difficult to know what websites to trust. Especially in diet and fitness where there is no good proof and the US federal law tolerates all sorts of scams (eg: DHSEA1998), it is easy to be misled, scammed, and bilked. The way search engines work is to show you the most popular websites at the top and the least popular at the bottom…often buried in an mess of thousands of hits. And, popular does not mean good or true. It often means fad or trendy or mediocre or memetic or myth. And, is asking a bunch of strangers in YA really a good way to get information? Well, there are some excellent websites you CAN trust. They usually end in dot gov and contain some very heady scientific articles which are buried among other articles. The reason is the US government doesn’t have the time or money to debunk all the junk, bogus, and just plain bad information on the web. So, if you want the truth, you’re going to have to do your homework and dig for it. Here are some links to help you with your question.

Detox diets and cleanses are don’t work. There is no diet which will cause your body to get rid of toxins, heavy metals, poisonous by-products from smoking, drugs, etc. And cleanses for the purpose of weight loss don’t work because they can only eliminate water and small amounts of waste which the body will replace very quickly.

Check out these reliable references.

“A day on a detox diet program probably won’t hurt you, but there’s little point in following these restrictive diets – and they can do far more harm than good, says Michelle May, MD,”

“Detox diets are a waste of time and money, say scientists”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article784402.ece

“The human body can defend itself very
well against most environmental insults and the effects of occasional indulgence. If you’re generally healthy, stick to giving your body what it needs to maintain its own detox system— a healthful diet, adequate fluid intake, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and all recommended medical check-ups. Don’t waste your money…follow a healthy, balanced lifestyle instead.”

The way to detox is to stop ingesting toxins and let your body cleanse itself naturally. And cleanses, purges, emetics, enemas, etc. Cannot remove fat from your body or make your body lose fat. If fat is your problem, you’re eventually going to realize that nothing works except a proper diet for life or surgery. The best diet for all normal adults hasn’t changed. It is still a varied, balanced, nutritious, and properly apportioned diet of high quality foods.

With the help of the web and it’s instant global communication, it only took about a week for the Oprah/Oz acai myth to span the globe. So, one thing is certain. If there was an easy way to detox or lose fat through cleansing, the whole world would know about it very quickly. Why hasn’t that happened? Think about it.

Good luck and good health!!
